Chapter 48: The History of the Blood and Tears of the Indians
(Thank you all for your support!) Black car bye-bye! )
"Let's just go, shall we?" Matthew also felt a pity, after all, he had also shed blood and sweat and built such a big city.
"What else?" Li Mengyang was about to scold those Indians for being 'stupid B', but once it was over, everyone was still in the stage of cooperation, so it was not good to tear their faces, besides, even if they were scolded for being 'stupid B', do you think they could understand?
"Son of God!" Geronimo's side had already dealt with the other tribes, "I understand why you're angry, I understand it deeply, but there are many reasons why our warriors didn't control it. You may not yet understand our hatred of whites! ”
After this battle, Jerónimo's speech is much smoother, and his temperament has changed, it is likely that he has been suppressed for a long time.
"That ......" At this time, Li Mengyang was not easy to say, "I understand, I understand." ”
It's still a cooperative relationship, Li Mengyang has no choice but to do this, but that Geronimo is a little excited.
"You don't understand! You don't understand! There were tears in Geronimo's eyes, "We Apache people were originally the masters of this land, and we roamed and lived freely in this hot land, but the white people came, and they brought death ......"
An Indian man, with a handful of snot and tears, began to tell the tragic experience of his own nation.
Needless to say, it was the Indians, but then the whites came, and it was the Spaniards at first, and it was Columbus who discovered the Americas, and he was Italian, but he made a great voyage with the support of the Queen of Spain.
The Spaniards are ruthless, and the scalping tricks started with the Spaniards, and it is definitely a dark history. However, during this period, the Indians were also very strong, because they were numerous, and the muskets of that time were poor.
After Spain, it is naturally the Americans, and the tricks of the Americans are interesting.
This tribe of Jerónimo originally mostly hunted in the territory of what is now Mexico, so why did they come to New Mexico now?
Quite simply, because before that, in 1851, the Indians signed a peace treaty with the United States under the leadership of a very prestigious tribal leader called Conquest Bear.
This meeting, the Indians called the Long Meadows Conference, this treaty, the Indians called the "Ho Creek Treaty", the United States called the "Fort Laramie Treaty"!
This is really a peace treaty, Jeronimo's tribe looked at it, peace is good, they used to be in Mexico, and the people over there were constantly bullying them, so their tribe came to New Mexico, and they won't go back for the time being, it's peaceful. And in the hearts of the Apache people, they don't think there is any problem, this is also their hunting area.
But is there really peace?
The Americans did not abide by the "Fort Laramie Treaty" at all, just the year before last, that is, in 1854, because of a cow, the Conquest Bear agreed to compensate the Americans for five horses, but the Conquest Bear was shot from behind by Captain Gretan, and then the American Army killed 87 Indians, and Gretan was also killed, this incident is called the Gretin Massacre!
Actually, it's not a matter of this, before that, the Indians and the Americans also had frequent friction, and there were a lot of killings of each other, but after this incident, the two sides tore their faces again, so you kill it, I kill it.
The Indians feel that you Americans are treacherous. Americans think that you Indians are barbaric!
But the losses are always on the side of the Indians, who do not have good organization and advanced weapons, so it is normal for them to suffer. Let's just talk about this weapon, the U.S. government strictly prohibits the trade of weapons such as muskets to the Indians, of course, some businessmen will not care about this, they will take risks, but the problem is, the amount is too small, and what about ammunition and maintenance?
It was very complicated to operate a firearm these days, and there were not many Indians who could figure it out. Therefore, the weapons of the Indians are still so primitive, and this time they have made such a big oolong.
Why is Jerónimo talking about this?
"Son of God! Our impulsiveness offended you, but please forgive us and please continue to lead us to victory! ”
Who doesn't love to win battles?
The same is true of Geronimo, this victory is absolutely great, the Indians have never had such a glorious moment of winning more with less, almost every time there are fewer whites, but the price paid by the Indians is very great, and now, all of them have been reversed.
Geronimo knew very well that although they Indians killed a lot of people, this victory was not theirs, it was all because of the 'son of God' in front of him, really, definitely his credit, and what is even more valuable is that the 'son of God' Clint, he is not a white man!
Isn't this God's angel to them?
After Li Mengyang listened to the story of Geronimo, he was really sympathetic, yes, this story is mixed with so many blood and tears, so those who don't hear it are sad?
However, Li Mengyang will definitely not forget the free indulgence of the Indians, they may be warriors, but it is difficult to become warriors, because warriors in this era must pay attention to discipline!
"This plan can only end here, as for whether there is any chance in the future, then we have to wait, who knows what will happen in the future? Even if I'm a 'child of God', right? ”
"Son of God." Geronimo's face was full of disappointment, but there was nothing he could do.
The Indians understood at least one thing, and that was freedom.
"We've won a big win this time, so let's look for the loot."
Li Mengyang has already decided, this battle is over, although the most perfect goal has not been achieved, Li Mengyang's own military force has not been established, but it can be regarded as fruitful, anyway, this city is already like this, so it is better to take everything that can be taken.
The ammunition depot is gone, but those American GIs always have ammunition on them, certainly not much, but better than nothing. In addition, this is the rear of the large US army, so there should be money, that is, military salaries, and there must be something in the banks of Las Vegas.
At this time, Li Mengyang will not have any hesitation, he must put interests first, and everything else is bullshit!
But at this time, there was another situation.
"Oh no! There's a body that can't be found! It's still a big official! ”
"What?"
Yang Guangren ran over to report, and Li Mengyang got up and threw away the newspaper in his hand, which attracted Eleanor's attention.
There is a picture on it, and although the American newspaper industry was developed in those days, most of them did not use photographs. It depicts a man lying on the ground with a large hole in his back and a revolver in his hand, and the headline of the headline reads:
"Brady is on the run, Eastwood is on the run"
Eastwood?
Eleanor seemed to know who the newspaper was talking about, and why that bastard had been reading it for so long.
West, Bandits, Indians, War...... Although these words sound dangerous, there is more to Eleanor's little head than curiosity, as well as excitement.
That's how the West should be, and that's how wild the West is!
And the reason why the United States was founded is because of the pioneering spirit of the Americans, starting with the FundingFathers, those who founded the United States, and now, Americans have never lacked the pioneering spirit, and the word 'West' is now haunting the dreams of countless Americans in the East.
There's no denying that there are a lot of people who don't want to leave their homes, but Eleanor is more influenced by going west to fulfill her dreams and build her life there!
To be honest, this time I escaped from my eldest brother's side, and I also had this idea, that is, I wanted to really see what the west was like.
It's unexpected, it's bloody, but it's also exciting!
Eleanor wasn't a peaceful little girl at all......
"WHAT-THE-FARK!" Li Mengyang couldn't help but scold.
The body that disappeared was none other than Longstreet's, and the guy was gone!
"Dream sheep, is it haunted?"
Mai Lili's sentence was even more speechless, he actually put this matter into the category of ghosts and gods.
"Brother Li, this matter ......" Yang Guangren also felt that this problem was very big, but did Li Mengyang feel so out of shape?
"Sue everyone, take everything you can, we have a day at most, hurry up and get out of here!"
Li Mengyang's words shocked everyone, is this a big fuss?
"Go ahead! Don't look at me! It's useless to look at me! ”
Hearing this, no one should add it up, so let's do it, because the man in front of him seems to be right about everything......
So is Li Mengyang making a big fuss?
Of course not, it's clear now, this guy Longstreet is probably not dead, and it is almost certain that he took advantage of the chaos, if it was an ordinary soldier, or a Las Vegas civilian who ran away, it would not be a big deal. Because it is impossible for them to find the nearest US military unit in the fastest time, and it is impossible to explain the current situation in Las Vegas.
And Longstreet, who is a major, is still in charge of logistics, he escaped, then it is certain that it will not be long before the large force of the American army will be killed, and by that time, I am afraid that the dozens of people we have now will not be enough to stuff their teeth!
In Li Mengyang's original plan, they could have at least a week or half a month, but now it's over......
